Upcoming MotorStorm: Pacific Rift patch will fix saves, bugs
According to the PlayStation Blog, the forthcoming patch will significantly adjust the manner in which the game handles saved data, add a critical transfer notification and lift copy restrictions. Problems like the boost-exploit glitch, which grants players infinite boost, will also be done away with. You'll find the full annotations after the break.
MotorStorm: Pacific Rift to have weekly DLC
Kershaw said that "major packs" will be coming after Christmas. Previous MotorStorm DLC included new game modes, new tracks and new vehicles. Kudos to the developer for taking what we're affectionately calling the Rock Band model for support. No word on when we should expect the added content to start rolling out. Pacific Rift launched this week in North America.
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift vehicles detailed
Among those featured in the game include old favorites like mudpluggers and motorbikes, and the sequel's newly introduced monster trucks, which promise plenty of devastation when the game careens into a palm tree this October (turning on a dime is tough!).

MotorStorm: Pacific Rift going on tour in UK
Watch out DC Universe Online, another game on the PS3 is contending for your friendship via MySpace! MotorStorm Pacific Rift is going on a tour in the UK in the form of a "monster truck, its veteran driver and his hot female entourage." You'll also get to play Pacific Rift before its October release.
Tour dates are shown above, but you'll need tickets to get in. If you are looking to attend either the Red Bull Air Race or the Ripcurl Unleashed Festival, today is last day you can send an email over to competitionsuk@scee.net with the event you want to attend in the subject line, along with your "name, daytime telephone number and full postal address" in the body to win tickets. Check out the game's MySpace page here.

Motorstorm 2 = Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Speaking at Sony's PlayStation Day 2008 event, the creative director at Evolution Studios talked up some of the features in the upcoming Motorstorm: Pacific Rift. Boasting twice the number of tracks and four times as many racers in local multiplayer (total: four) than the PlayStation 3 launch title, Pacific Rift puts racers in a tropical locale, one filled with interactive vegetation technology. It's a fancy way of saying that when you're playing chicken with a rather large tree, you'd best be inside one of the game's new monster trucks. Another benefit of hurtling through lush island terrain can be found in bodies of water -- splashing through them can cool down your engine temperature.

Motorstorm sequel gears up for Fall release
Thankfully, you won't be experiencing the "thick swamps, dense jungle, towering peaks and steaming volcanoes" on your own, as the online racing mode will cater for up to 16 players. Motorstorm 2 also promises a revolutionary new feature: "Split-screen Multiplayer" for up to four players! We hope that means the sequel will actually feel complete, as opposed to feeling dependent on patches and DLC over the course of several months.
Motorstorm is expected to return on PlayStation 3 this Fall. Until then, you can watch the embedded trailer which likely isn't very representative of the game -- again.
MotorStorm 2 officially unveiled alongside teaser video [UPDATE]
Other qualms from the first game have been resolved, such as split-screen play which will be included in MotorStorm 2 and will support up to 4 players on a single screen. A new vehicle type, the Monster Truck, will also be a part of the sequel. With levels that incorporate mud, tangled vines and lava pools, we can't wait to see the game in action. Until then, there's just the above video available to whet our appetites.
[UPDATE] This trailer deserves to be watched in its true Hi-Def glory and GameTrailers have you covered. Enjoy!
Motorstorm 2 gets monster trucks, lots of water

ThreeSpeech receives redesign including mysterious timer
We were promised a trailer by French site JeuxVideo but it never materialized. Even if we hadn't been given the blatant clue "a new breed of warrior will be born," we would've expected to see the video appear whenever the timer runs out. You never know, though. We've been wrong before ...
